Zelensky pleads for US military aid, says if Biden acted sooner ‘there would not have been war’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky chided the Biden administration for not slapping sanctions on Russia’s Vladimir Putin sooner in an emotional, approximately hour-long Zoom call with 280 US senators and House members Saturday morning.

“If you had started sanctions months ago, there would not have been war,” he said, Fox News reported.

Zelensky thanked the US for the assistance it has already sent, and pleaded for additional American military aid for his besieged country, a Senate source said.

Dozens of lawmakers unmuted themselves to thank Zelensky for his bravery as the call came to an end – with some pledging “Slava Ukraini” — Glory to Ukraine, a source told CNN.

The embattled Ukrainian leader expressed support for a potential US boycott of Russian oil, in response to a question posed by West Virginia’s Sen. Joe Manchin, the Senate source said.

I hate to tell you this but since the 1940s, it never been acceptable for one nation to invade another simply because it disagrees with their politics

Since the 1960s Cuba has been a Russian client state 90 miles off the US Coast. That the US never had any right to invade Cuba to change that even at the height of the cold war

So stop being a mindless stodge for Putin's propaganda machine. Even if everything Putin said were true, which it is not, he has zero moral, legal or intellectual justification for his act of aggression.

Try to THINK for once

Then by using Liberal Logic, Brandon is responsible for every war related death in Ukraine.

Simple thoughts for simple minds. Two can play that game.

George Soros owns Zelensky.

Stop being a mindless stooge for the globalist propaganda machine.

Really so that why is Biden's doing absolutely nothing meaningful to help Ukraine? Because he “wanted war”?

If Biden “Wanted war” why didn't he start bombing Russia and deploying US troops in response to Putin's invasion?

The fact is Joe Biden, the NWO and the Alex Jones right are all in 100% agreement. Ukraine is Europe's’ problem, not ours. If Putin wants it, then Putin can have it

If Zelensky had acted sooner and honestly investigated Biden’s bribe as VP to get the Ukraine prosecutor fired, Biden would not be President today. Karma is a b*tch.

Ukraine is not in NATO. Putin invades regardless. Why do you place blame on Ukraine and NATO for an unprovoked attack on the Ukraine?

But look at what Biden is getting now. People don’t mind the high gas prices, everything that is going wrong is now all Putin’s fault. They will milk that for all it’s worth for the midterms. It’s as if they asked Putin for a favor and he did it for them.

Wife just reminded me that all Biden really wanted was for Zelensky to leave Ukraine. Good point. Biden is less than worthless.

Unprovoked? The US/NATO have been conducting a proxy war in Ukraine for eight years.

Poor Zelensky. I guess he forgot 10% "for the big guy".

Your argument for Putin is completely without any merit. You are dead wrong.

I will give you another historic example. Korea. North Korea/China were not allowed to conquer South Korea simply because they hated and feared it's existence

Russia is not some special case where all basic standards of civilized behavior get thrown out the window because it concerns Russia. So stop lying.

Stop clinging to emotion based ignorance. Wake up to what you are saying here. Your argument is pure idiocy without the slightest shred of any logical or intellectual merit.

Exactly. And the flak (comments in hysterical opposition) is evidence you/we are correct.
